Activity tracker recovery after breast reconstruction surgery
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study uses a wearable activity tracker to monitor recovery after breast reconstruction surgery using your own tissue (DIEP flap). The goal is to see if tracking activity can help improve recovery and outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are having a DIEP flap breast reconstruction surgery (using your own tissue) that is delayed, not immediate.
- You can use a compatible smartphone or tablet with the Fitbit Inspire 3 app.
- You are willing to wear an activity tracker on your wrist or ankle for 3 weeks before surgery and 3 months after surgery.
- You do not have skin conditions or allergies that would prevent wearing the tracker.
- You are not having any other major surgery at the same time, and you are not in another research study that could affect your activity or recovery.
